Samsung Unpacked’s “one more thing” was a bit of a weird one. After the presentation ended, the company rolled a brief pre-packaged video of the Galaxy Edge — not to be confused with the “Star Wars” theme park of the same name.Though limited, the reveal was confirmation of earlier rumors that the hardware giant is working on an extra-thin version of its new S25 flagship. The Galaxy S25 Edge is, presumably, another tier for the line, slotting in alongside the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra.Key details, including pricing, availability, and actual thickness were not revealed, though the company did showcase what appeared to be dummy models at Wednesday’s event. Early rumors pointed to a 6.4 mm thickness, a considerable reduction from the base Galaxy S25’s 7.2 mm.Samsung clearly wanted to avoid taking too much wind out of the Galaxy S25’s sails during the event, so it opted instead for a more cryptic reveal. Even so, the mere appearance of the device at Unpacked may be enough to keep early adopters from preordering the S25 ahead of its February 7 release.After all, those are precisely the folks who get excited by things like a 0.8 mm profile reduction.Topics
